The person who made the response was | 98¢ Benjamin Gant, a tall colored man attired in ministerial garb. “What's your business?” asked the court. “I'm a preacher,” was his reply. “Are you in charge of a church?” “No, ‘sir; I'm » missionary. I am in busi- ness on Louisiana avenue. I live in Rume's alley and keep my horses in Pig alley.” The accused gave the court his card, which was printed as follows: Rev.

Mary Brown and Mary Day, colored women, each have a room ina house near 1th and I streots northeast and frequently have company. In addition to giving “cake walks” and “parlor socials” they permitted the men from the race course to visit their rooms and the noise made by them disturbed the neighbors to such an extent that the women were today called upon in the Police Court to answer charges of keep- ing a disorderly house. Judge Miller wanted to know how they could afford to work bard | meals and then spend their money in “cake walks” and “parlor socials.” ‘They were fined $50 each and sentence was suspended so long as they conduct their rooms in a quiet manner so ag not to disturb the neighbors. pene sang GEORGETOWN.

The draftsman is rate James Hade, who ousht to be at least a sergeant major.’ Laboring under numerous disadvantages he has executed some remarkably clever maps. In the rear of the room is another table, coy- ered with piles of papers. A shelf above the table threatens to break down bencath the bur- den of ink and mucilage bottles. A stove that at times emits more smoke than heat, a foldin, lndder, one spare chair and half a dozen smal wooden boxes on the gunnysack-covered floor almost complete the furnishings of the depart- ment. The finishing touch iva letter-coppying ress, monnted on # rickety box. ‘This has to be handled very carefully or it will follow any one who attempts to operate it ali over the sur- rounding region. GEN. MILES’ TRANSFORMATION. Three strips of heavy and once white canvass hang portiere fashion from the upper frame- work of the double doorway on the eczt side of the office. Beyond these Gen. Miles may most frequently be found. The facial appearance of the general has undergone a transformation since he was last seen in the east. His heavy iron, gray mustache is now nothing but a memory and unless the barber fails in his daily task there is no more hair on the general's face than there is supertiuous fat on a Pine Ridge mey steer. Whether the general is any bet- ter looking than he was before the mustache vanished is a question not yet settled. Unpre- judiced people who have studied the revolu- tionary period of early American history think he looks something like George Washington. I shall not attempt to decide whether that com- parison is or is not odious. At the eastern end of ‘the general's private office is a bay window, in which is a pine table. This is the place where visitors are received and di of. Here the generals and the colonels and the majors and captain tenants and sconts and J and a and correspondents meet on common ground, ask the questions they brought with them and take away answers mote or loss satisfactory oF disappointing. ‘There are two narrow iron bed- steade in this samo plain and almost uninviting room. One of them—the one covered with a gray blanket—is sacred to the uses of Capt. Maus, aide-de-camp, after the hour of midnight, when’ the Inst loiterer has gone away. The other bed has a brown blanke before Col. Corbin was called away to Chicago by Mra. Corbin’s illness it was known as Col. Corbin's bed. Between the beds is a table, which is al- ways littered up with telegrams, letters, news- ps, & pistol or two and adouble handful of cartridges. A coupls of diminutive tranks occupy a little floor space. while depending from numerous nails driven into the wall without design are articles of clothing temporarily put aside. The only luxury is bath room, which adjoins the private office. A PRAIRIE BOUDOIR. Gen. Miles’ bed room is on the left-hand side of the entrance hall. Esthetically it seems to be somewhat in advance of any other apart- ment in the house, but it is simplicity itself. ‘The prevailing tint seems to be pale blue, UUberally applied to all the woodwork by a man who had fall consciousness of the fact that this was a rich and beneficent government; gov- ernment that believed in plenty of paint even if it was somewhat dubious in the matter of Indian treaties and beef cattle. A wooden washstand is of the eame cerulean hue. The bedstead is of that narrow iron variety which makos turning over in bed & somewhat, risky feat. Gray blankets cover the bed, while the lace of 1 rug is iled by a heavy hore blanket.

Of the narrow escapes some of the wounded had many columns might be written, but there ‘was one case which ntands out, #0 prominently that it is worthy of special mention. Singu- larly enough it has escaped the attention given other enses in the newspay The luckily unlucky man is Harry L. Duncan of troop seventh cavalry. He was at the buttle Wounded Kneo and was on_ post at the time when “Sit Straight,” the medicine man, throw ground, so the corporal ran a few steps and sprang lightly heavenward. Not unnaturally the cayuse was scared and in an instant it was wulling every available ounce on that 1 scout, supposing his beast was trying to get away, settled down on his end of the rope and made the line as tant as a line could be, and while shis was being done that poor cor- ral was describing more aereal curves than lixtigure the face of a meteorological map, using the lariat as a sort of an ———— hori- zontal bur. He was ten or twelve feet away from the pony when the gymnastics were at an end. ‘The neat uniform was decidedly rumpled, several buttons were missing and more than two-thirds of the corpora!’s superticial area was bruised, but he didn’t walk around that pony. He gained his point. WHAT ONE MAN THOUGHT ABOUT. How strangely constituted is the mind of man. I was talking the other evening with a trooper of the seventh cavalry, who was in one of the hottest corners of Wounded Knee. “Just as soon as the farst shot wuz foired,” said he, “I wuz worried. Thin came a shower ay buillits, and about half av thim samed to be comin’ my way.

I Vought v the schrap wuz all over.” jeri a Mother and Daughter in Court. Rose McDevitt and her daughter, Mary Ann, were prisoners in the Police Court today. The mother was charged with disorderly conduct and the daughter was charged with vagrancy. Rose is an old offender, and when not in prison she is usually under the influence of liquor, and most of her time is — among the dis- reputable places on Maryland avenue. ler danghter, Mary Ann, is only about eighteer. years old, and she had been brough* before the court because she was living in a house on Maryland svenue, where she kept her five-months-old child. Officer Wilson caused her arrest in order that the child might be properly cared for. e youthful mother, with her infant, sat in the dock. The mother’s sobs could be heard mingling with the loud cries of the infant. Judge Miller commended the officer for his action in the matter and the latter said that ar- rangements were made for taking the child and its mother to St. Ann’s Infant Asylum, but when it was ascertained that the mother lived on Maryland avenue they would not take her in. ‘The young woman expressed a willi to St. Ann's with the officer and ereupon released. ‘ion mother was released on her personal mi ee Injured by an Elevator, About 3:15 o'clock yesterday Mr. J. W. Haislup, while oiling the machinery of the elevator in the Navy Department, hed his left arm caught and it was badly lacerated. He was at once taken to the Providence Hospital and it was found necessary to amputate the arm be- tween elbow and shoulder. Mr. Haislup is about 60 years of age and lives at Laurel, ss The Intercontinental Rallway. An adjourned meeting of the intercontinental railway commission was held in this city yes- terday and the numbers and duties of the va- rious working committees were decided upon, but it was thonght best to postpone the an- nouncement until after the arrival of the dele- tes from Brazil and the Argentine Re Tho are now on their way ant are eupeoeed © reach here in a short time. The delegation from Brazil was announced as follows: Senor Pedro B. Paes Leme, Senor Francisco de Monte- begin active operations as soon as the committees shall have been ap- pointed. CITY AND STATE ASSESSMENTS. The commissioner of the revenue has made astatement in reference to the assessments, showing that the city assessment is upon values as follows: to | That event also pos! expected that ihe entertainments of the com- ing three or four days, or at least while the re- mains of the dead Secretary lie unburied, will be perceptibly affected if not in some cases en tirely omitied. After the funeral it is not the custom for general society to observe any fur- ther retirement, as unfortunately such sad events of late years come too closely together. The son and daughters of the dead Secre were really raised in this city, and many, haps most of their closer friends, reside here. When Mr. Windom was in President Garfield's cabinet every one remembers the touching solicitude which Mra. Windom manifesied toward Mra, Garfield in her weeks of trouble and anxiety, and the friendship then cemented beside the dying President's Ledside has never waned in the years since. The Garfield and the Windom children are 2s devoted to each other, and one of the most welcome guests at the Windom home the last two years has been Mrs. J. a Brown, who was’ Miss Mollie Gar- field. The Windoms have been pre-eminently a home family. While social honors and distine- tions came so thickly on the head of the house it is certain his happiest hours were spent in the company of his wife and children. He has had several fine houses in this city, being at- tracted by the desirability of the city'as a home as well as always providing a suitable re: for his different official terms. While in Mr. Garfield's cabinet he lived for a while in the residence 1116 Vermont avenue, which he built and afterward sold. Then he built, and lived in it at different periods, the more spa- cious mansion facing Scott Circle at the corner of 16th street. He afterward solé this house, till | and when he came here as a member of Pres- ident Harrison's cabinet both he and Mrs. Windom had great regret in the fact that they had dieposed of what would have made such a desirable residence for them ‘Their present home on Massachusetts avenue, which Mir. Windom leased for a term of years, bears everywhere in it the evidences of refined taste and an ideal of home comfort. The family had a very pleasant social life. The young Iadies inherit their mother's quiet taste and dislike fancy, ostentatious display. ‘They started out for the pleasure as well as the duties of the winter, which has now ended for them so disastrousiy, with anticipations of great enjoyment. The young Indies are both musical, their marked talent in both painting as well as music having received every possi- ble development, and only for the position of their father in the cabinet they would have been now in Europe, studying under masters to thoroughly acquire the greatest proficiency, which has always been their ambition. Early in the winter they gave a musicale, at which the very best of the amateur talent was heard. ‘Then the Secretary and Mrs. Windom intended. to arrange for a series of evening receptions, when the illness of their little grandchild aud her death subsequently made it impracticable for their plans to mature the present season. tponed the dinner which arranged for the President and Mrs. Harrison and the cabinet.

Naturally all the more love and affection was shown the other little child of Mr. and Mrs. Windom and many who called at the house last Wednesday will remember the pictures of the two little ones which were on the parlor mantel and tables, fresh from the hotographer.
